Have You Covered All the Details of Sun Protection? How to Repair Your Skin After Sun Exposure?
When summer comes, sun protection is inevitably discussed. But have you really done it thoroughly? Most people assume that applying sunscreen to exposed skin is sufficient, but some areas or skin covered by clothes are often neglected. Here are the correct ways to protect yourself from the sun in summer. Have you paid attention to these details?
1. Hairline.
Many people apply sunscreen only on their faces, keeping it away from the hairline, thus neglecting the hairline's sun protection. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to darkening of the hairline and even hair loss in severe cases.
2. Eyebrows.
Eyebrows are located in the center of the T-zone on the face and are prone to oil-water imbalance. When applying sunscreen, people generally avoid the area around the eyes, and often forget to apply sunscreen to the eyebrows. Long-term exposure of eyebrows to the sun can lead to sunburn.
3. Eye Corners.
Eye corners are particularly prone to wrinkles, which can make people look older and reveal a woman's true age. Therefore, sun protection for the eye area, especially the eye corners, must be done properly and cannot be neglected.
4. Nose.
The nose is usually prone to oiliness, and applying sunscreen can create a greasy feeling, so the nose is sometimes skipped. However, the nose also needs sun protection. People with oily skin or noses that are particularly prone to oiliness can choose a refreshing sunscreen.
5. Lips.
Lips are the most easily forgotten area, but the skin on the lips is very thin. Therefore, sunscreen is essential to prevent sunburn. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause lips to become dry, cracked, and develop fine lines.
6. Neck.
The neck is a special area connecting the face and body. In summer, the neck is easily forgotten, leading to sunburn and the appearance of neck lines. Remember to apply sunscreen to the neck. If possible, choose a specialized sunscreen for the neck. Massaging while applying sunscreen can also prevent the formation of horizontal lines and keep the skin tight.
How to Repair Sunburn?
1. Vinegar and Salt.
Dissolve vinegar and salt in water in a ratio of 9:3:1, then soak a clean towel in the liquid and use it to wipe the face.
2. Cucumber and Milk.
Milk and cucumber have natural whitening effects. Slice the cucumber thinly and soak the slices in milk. After about ten minutes, remove the cucumber slices and apply them to the face.
3. White Sugar.
After cleansing the face in the evening, place white sugar in a clean container, add water, and rub it. Then take it out and gently rub it on the face. Finally, rinse it off after rubbing.
With summer here, comprehensive sun protection measures should be taken. If sunburn is unavoidable, don't worry too much. Find post-sunburn repair methods and continue with whitening treatments to restore your skin to its original state.
